This Could Take Awhile...

Arggggggggggggggggg!!! Okay, here's what happened...I tried to post these images in order, but had double-posted one, lost this one, and had to put it here..why, you ask? Because I haven't figured out how to move images around...All I can do is put them up in reverse order, so that the one I want first, I put up last...This image is the second page of a tutorial at the bottem...The next one is the first page of "How to repair drywall"...so, I have to live with it. Ya'll seem to do so well and know all the magic thingys, that make things beautiful, functional, imaginative; things flutter, things float..you can put HERE..and if you click on it, you go somewhere..don't bother clicking on that HERE, for you will go nowhere...stop laughing..stop it.
So, if you haven't read by now, I am archiving many of the articles I've cut out of magazines over the years and placed in sleeves in loose-leaf binders..big binders...I am getting rid of the binders, as they take up too much space, and it's hard to carry such heavy things around...so, I figured I might as well share them with you...

Don't forget to double-click in order to read the articles....I know, you knew that...

This is "moi", in all my glory, trying to reach a spot on my client's staircase (two stories), while sitting on a homemade (do not try this at home, I am a professional) scaffolding, comprised of boards and ladders. The room(s) I glazed -(one is pictured below in a photoshoot for Graber Window Fasions.) added up to 1,000 square feet...lots' of work...My client caught me with the glazing brush between my toes...

Painting stripes can be challenging...math skills needed here; and apparently I lacked them...one has to be very careful not to be off by a quarter-inch here, and a quarter inch there, as one ends up with having to adjust the width of the stripes at the end...I made it barely discernable..it did turn out well, and I learned alot..also, had thighs of steel, after all the taping and painting..going up-and-down a ladder one million times.

I took a faux finish class at New England School of Art and Design, in Boston....This was my final project..got an A...We had to use the Old World techniques, which are much more difficult than the wonderful (and better for your health) products out there today...which is why I want to share what I've learned by just reading...and observing.

I would like to give credit where credit is due, and I try, but some of these images were cut out years ago, and I have no idea...but, thankyou very much....
